The kiln A may be built of brick, stone,iron, or any other suitablematerial. Its exterior form is cylindrical and its interiorfunnelshaped. At the bottom of the funnel-shaped 2o interior is a squareopening, B, beneath which is a grating, (J, arranged in an inclinedposition. The rear and upper edge of the grating rests against the rearside of the opening B, and the front and lower edge of said grating (Nomodel.)

rests upon a plate, E, which I call the shovel ing-board. Beneath thegrate O and plate E is the ash-pit D.

The fire is built on the grating O and the limestone is piled on the topof the fire. As the fuel is consumed and the lime is burned both descendto the grating O, which separates the lime from the ashes. The limerolls down onto the board or plate E, from which it may be readilyshoveled through the mouth G, While the ashes pass to the ash-pit D.
